"Mr Moyane subsequently engaged in litigation to overturn his dismissal, interdict the appointment of a new SARS Commissioner and to prevent the Commission of Inquiry from submitting its final report," said Khusela Diko, Spokesperson to the President.

"The North Gauteng High Court dismissed Mr Moyane’s application with punitive costs on Tuesday."

Diko said that Ramaphosa has welcomed the judgment as a step towards stabilising SARS at a time when efficient revenue collection and tax justice is vital to economic recovery and restoring the confidence of corporate and personal taxpayers in this important public institution.

"In line with the recommendations of the Nugent Commission, the President will soon initiate the process to appoint a new SARS commissioner."
